South Carolina Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association
The first stride to the finish line begins in South Carolina
The number of racing opportunities seem a bit less during the winter months while also it is not unusual to give horses a winter break. This definitely held true for South Carolina training center graduates as only one, Hollygrove, proved best in a Stakes race covering the January 20 to February 20 time period.
On February 8, a 3-year-old daughter of Complexity, Hollygrove quickly gained the lead in the Valedale Stakes at Turfway Park. She led the field of 3-year-old fillies around the track and crossed the finish line ¾’s of a length in front. Hollygrove was prepared for her racing career at the Travis Durr Training Center in St. Matthews, SC.
